Relating to requirements for campgrounds located in a floodway; authorizing an administrative penalty; providing a private cause of action.

HB 269 requires campground entities (owners/operators of campgrounds) to obtain approval from the Texas Division of Emergency Management before constructing or expanding any campground or campground structure within a floodway (an area at high risk of flooding, as defined by federal flood maps). This applies to new construction or expansions starting March 1, 2026, mandating that entities submit detailed plans for review. Approval is required only if plans minimize flooding, ensure safe evacuation routes, provide access for emergency responders, and meet additional division rules. The bill also authorizes administrative penalties for violations and allows affected individuals to file private lawsuits.
